Welcome to the Martha Cook Building!

Since opening our doors in 1915, Martha Cook has welcomed generations of women to the University of Michigan, offering not just a place to live, but a home full of history, elegance, and life-long connections. Frequently described as the most beautiful college dormitory in the United States, Martha Cook is more than architectural charm, it is a vibrant community where lifelong friendships are made, traditions are honored, and every resident’s story becomes part of our legacy.

For over a century, Martha Cook has embodied warmth, fellowship, and a dedication to belonging. From cherished annual events to spontaneous study sessions in our storied halls, every corner of Martha Cook is filled with opportunities to grow, celebrate, and create unforgettable memories.

“O Guard our Friendship Circle Ever!”

Welcome home, and welcome to Martha Cook!
